Description Self-potrait of the photographer at Moeraki Boulders, Hampden, New Zealand.Moeraki boulders are huge spherical boulders scattered along the beach, each weighing several tonnes and is up to two metres high. There are intact boulders and there are broken boulders, which to me looks like a fossilised dinasour eggs!According to Maori legend, the boulders are gourds washed ashore from the great voyaging canoe Araiteuru when it was wrecked upon landfall in New Zealand hundreds of years ago.
